Update 2: It's 6:20AM and I'm certainly happy I decided to get hurricane shutters only it feels like I'm in a sardine can. The wind is howling out there. And the lights have been going on and off for the last 1/2 hour as the winds pick up. Oct in Florida is almost summer. It's been very hot lately - high 80's to low 90's. But tonight it supposed to drop to 57. Now I have dig my blankets out and I don't think I have enough to go around. 57 is freezing for Floridians.
Update 1: Watching the news now and it might be a cat 2 when it gets here Monday around 2am but by Monday afternoon it will be tropical storm. Mom will be staying with me for a few days. I'm so happy.

Well we're under a hurricane warning which means I won't have to go to work tomorrow. I have my priorities in order there. And now there's Alpha just waiting for Wilma to leave. New Mexico is looking awfully good right now.
Last year my mom was with me for 3 weeks. Let me repeat - MY MOM WAS WITH ME FOR 3 WEEKS. I haven't been the same since. Here's hoping for just a cat 1 or better yet downgraded to a tropical storm. And now I'm off to buy more water in case I have company for a few days.
Good luck, Carol ;D I'm just beginning to dip into 2 weeks' worth of your blog--how exciting!

Hmmm...if Cat 1, you could have some fun with kites!

Kites? A cat 1 can still pick up a tree and throw it through your window. I think I might be flying right behind that kite if I tried.

I did Nina and it was certainly a trip I don't want to make again (but being in Florida I probably will).
